Lima beans - Small chilli - 18-09-2022
How’s everyone’s Lima beans done this year?
Turns out Lima beans don’t like the frozen north. Less than 1ft tall and still not flowered. I’m going to take a stab in the dark here and say, I’m probably not going to get a crop off them
. To be fair to the Lima’s none of my beans outside have done very well this year. But I will harvest something from all the other varieties.

My beans have been non-existent this year, although I do have a pot of Hunters in the GH that look promising.
Lemurs will have to wait for next year.

I never got round to lemurs either, as you say, next year.

Shamefully I didn't even sow any this year!! There was no point - I needed the small greenhouse for all my tomatoes, which to be fair, I prefer over lima beans.
However, I've got two new types of surprise seeds to share with the group (if I can manage to germinate at least one or two myself).
RE: Lima beans - Veggie - 20-09-2022
Oooh, Surprise seeds again.
;D
RE: Lima beans - JJB - 21-09-2022
Do lemurs need to be grown under cover? If so it's unlikely I'll have room.
RE: Lima beans - SarrissUK - 21-09-2022
I am particularly pleased because I've researched one of the surprise seeds today and found that despite their tropical look, they're hardy in all of the UK (H6).
RE: Lima beans - SarrissUK - 21-09-2022
Yes, lemurs want to be grown in a warm place, so under cover is almost certainly needed in the UK
RE: Lima beans - Small chilli - 21-09-2022
Well in that case I’ll be trying them again inside next year.
